The Wall of the Anarchists.

The Geographic accounts of the burial,
Sunday, Of the executed Chicago Anarchists
in " aldheim cemetery, where the bodies
had been temporarily inferred, are rather
conflicting. In some of the reports the
scenes are described as having been very
tame. In fact, the burial is spoken of as an
occasion on which a good deal of enjoy
ment was seasoned with a sprinkling OF re-
greet for the fate of the bomb throwers, and
on which 500 men were gathered together
simply because they had no other place to
go to amuse themselves Fuller accounts
show the scenes enacted in quite a different
light, emitting all reference to hilarity, and
presenting some occurrences that call for
more serious thought. There We're 1000 or
more people present. nearly every one pro-
Tossing to be a firm believer in anarchism.
Sullen wrath was depicted in their faces,
and fierce denunciations of the police and
press were heard on every hand. There
was no indication that time was healing
the wounds of those who think the bomb
throwers were 'judicially murdered" The
speeches were of most incendiary charac-
ter. Capt. Black, ex-counsel for the An

and the dead men, saying that they had
alike sought to bring about universal
brotherhood by breaking down the barriers
between the people, and had been sent to
the gibbet for their work. Paul Grottkau,
a Wisconsin Anarchist, made an infiamma-
tory harangue, in which he exhortsd the
crowd to stand firm and be ready to avenge
their comrades death, which, he said,
would not be the last in the cause of an
archism, and which were the signal for an
uprising all over the world The crowd
followed him with loud cheers and cries of
rage, and when he closed by calling on
them to continue the work $50 fendishly
begun by the minions of the law" 1000
voices shouted, I'VE will, y and followed the
shout with groans and curses.
While these demonstrations are cause for
sober reflection, and indicate that anarch-
ism is not buried with the five bomb
throwers there is no cause for apprehension
of trouble. Seditious speeches delivered
over dead men do not amount to much, and
there is vast difference between making
threats and VOWS and carrying them into
execution. 1t is possible that the Anar-
chists will content themselves, for some
time to come, with threats, vows and
speeches. The warning they received when
their comrades swung from the gallows was
one that is not likely to be soon forgotten

Senator Sherman has not a very high
opinion of Florida. He says it is the least
promising of all the Southern States
Florida's electoral vote served Mr.. Sber-
mans party agood turn in 1876, and he
should not be ungrateful. 1t is true the
vote was stolen, and Mr.. Sherman was
powerfully glad to have his party receive
the stolen goods. Florida should have the
Senator indicted for libel, as well as for
acting as an accessory to a crime.

The statement is made that thirty-eight
widows of soldiers of the revolution are on
the pension lists. As the revolutionary
war ended over 10Oyears ago, and as the de-
ceased husbands of these pensioners must
have been at least ~ years old when they
were killed, there are evidently thirty
eight very old widows in the United States.

A Pretty Girl Routed Them.

On the elevated train this morning
was attracted by the beauty of young
girl who was going somewhere or other
alone. Opposite her sat fat man and
a thin man, and by her side sat me-
dium sized man. The fat man looked
over his paper at the curve of her
shoulders. The thin man looked over
his at the creamy roundness of her
chin. The medium man glanced side
ways ut her shell pink ear, and from
there to her dainty hand; and she
gaaed abstractedly at memory. The
three men would each pretend to read
paragraph and then proceed to take
another look. The girl became con-
scious Of the arrangement after a while
and began to get nervous. Men way
down at the end of the car were begin
ming TO stand on their toes to examine
her loveliness. The girl looked as if
she wanted to shrink away. She re-
minded me of hunted fawn with a lot
OF dogs ranged round her ready to
fasten their teeth in her. At Chatham
square the guard called:
Change for Fulton, Wall and South
Ferries!"
The girl arose and moved for the
door. The fat man, the thin man, the
memium man and several other men
started also. When the train stopped
the girl turned back and re-entered the
train. And there stood the men who
had followed her out on the station plat
form. They had been routed. The
game had doubled on them. / tell you
pretty girl needs to have a face o.
iron to go on an elevated train between
and 10 in the morning.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 1l.-[Special Telegram
to the Bee "A man and woman of the Scot
land yard force of English detectives that ar
rived from New York few days ago, de-
tailed to look up charges against members of
the Parnell party in the house of commons
and to secure by any means possible any
letters or documents of importance these ag:-
tators in America may have in their posses
sion from the leaders in Ireland, arrived here
one day last week and went to the Capitol
hotel where they registered under an as
sumed name as man and wife. Next morn
ing they disappeared as suddenly and mys-
teriously as they arrived. An agent
of the New York branch of the
League who followed them to this city is here
watching their every movement, but to-day
refused to speak upon the subject, except to
say that they were in Denver on their way
west. They stopped over at Omaha and
Lincoln, Neb., for the purpose Of giving
Judge Brennan, chairman of the republican
state central committe at Sioux City, and
Fitzgerald and Egan, of Lincoln, little of
their attention, but whether their mission to
these parts was successful or not is un-
known. Their visit west Is understood to be
for the purpose Of visiting p. G. Sheridan,
the mo. 1" of the Phoenix park tragedy,
who now resides in Rio Grande county,
Colorado; Martin johnson, of Idaho Terri
tory, together with several other prominent
League men Of the west. johnson was here
last week, and his movements, as
well as those Of his friends, are
now known to have been assid-
uously watched. Several attempts prior to
this have been made to secure valuable
documents in the possession Of Sheridan.
About six months ago detective arrived
here from New York. bearing forged letters
from one of the New York leaders to Sheri-
dan. The man represented that he was de-
sirous of learning the ranch business, with a
view to investing, and offered to work one
year for nothing. The detective remained at
Sheridan's ranch a couple of weeks, when
one morning Sheridan thoughtlessly stated
he was expecting letter from his New York
friend, and that night the man disappeared
without gaining any information. Edward
j. Mcguire, one of the most prominent and
trusted Irishmen in the state, is assisting the
eastern agent of the League in keeping
watch of the Scotland yard men, but posi-
lively refuses to speak.
